How do I tell my mom without upsetting her?

Jayde Love: How do I tell my mom without upsetting her?
My mom is seriously overprotective, and I want to sleep over my friends house. My friend and I have been talking and I finally convinced my mom to let me go, even though she is still nervous. Now I find out my friend lives in an apartment & I know that my mom won’t like that. How can I reassure her that everything will be okay, and let her let me go?

Just tell her that you’re a big girl, and know how to take care of yourself. If anything happens, you’ll be with your friends.

Why do you think she’ll feel differently about an apartment than a house?
Tell your mom that she can talk to your friends mom if that will make her feel less nervous.

Well its good that you are willing to be honest with her. That should give you some bonus points. I wonder how old you are which would help give more of a decisive answer, but I’m going to assume your under 18. If you are sixteen and going to a friend’s house who is old enough to have her own apartment then its easy to understand why your mother would have reservations. The only way to really ask is to ask and tell her what your going to be up to. A number where she can reach you, preferably a home phone number because she’d want to know that you were really where you say your going to be. Tell her what kind of neighborhood your friend lives in. If it’s in a bad neighborhood or if theres going to be guys over then I doubt your mom would let you go regardless of how you ask her. Just tell her the truth and hope that she is open minded enough to accept it and to trust you.

I’m not quite sure why your friend living in an apartment would make much of a difference, unless she lives there by herself. If she lives with a parent, just tell your mom that a responsible adult will be there at all times and that she can talk to the parent(s) to re-assure her. If she lives alone I don’t think there is any re-assuring for your mom.
